Welcome to the Art Skills Competition 2014/2015, or "ASC" for short. It is a contest to gather willing artists from the forums to compete in a friendly test of their skills and reward the best of their work each round.
Rounds will take place each month, the last day of the month will be the final cutoff for any entries. The judging will take place the first week of the following month.
___________________________________________________________________
Competition Guidelines :
1. The entry must be 100% original material.
2. Each round lasts for a month; closing date is at the end of that month.
3. Submissions should be relevant to the current month's theme. (See thread's title)
4. Keep posts resolutions within reason and if you must have a larger resolution, link it to the entry.
5. Entries can be created in any medium, please note that it will be appreciated if hand drawn entries are cropped to contain only the intended work.
6. Winners will be announced by the judge of the competition at the end of each round; the results are final and non-debatable.
7. The winner of a round will have the right to choose the next theme; if this takes too long, the judge will choose one instead.
8. All participants of each round will receive a Merit for their hard work; the winner of each round will receive the Armor Games "Artist Quest"!
Round 1: Knight
This months theme will be dedicated to creating a knight representing that of Armor Games, it is a non official character to try and stir the imaginations of artists and viewers. The artist should endeavor to embody Armor Games in a Knightly character.
Sorry for the lateness of a reply but I will post a judgement in a day, I will also like to say that we will be taking a break until next year, Holidays and such are coming up and I will be busy.
Even though your own critisim is a bit harsh, I do this myself for my own art I think the mask is pretty good. In fact I think your line art is way better then anything I can do...But besides that I chose this one because I know the trouble it is to get good line art. Also you can do so much more with it

At first I did not know what I was looking at I could vaguely make out an eye but after reading your comment I had a clearer picture. I think for an improvement you might want to try and make a piece that doesn't require a description.

This is a great piece but after looking at it closely the haste of how it was drawn took something away from it. Just a bit more cleaning up with the coloring and you might have gotten first.

while the drawing was good and the idea of using white on black is interesting I just think that a bit more definition in some places might have helped with the form. The picture seems flat in some areas since you tried to define both shades and highlights with white.
Well I guess @gaboloth isn't going to post a theme I would like to hear some suggestions. Also I will probably not be able to judge anything until the new year passes so we have plenty of time to come up with ideas.
Oh whoops, I wasn't expecting to win and I didn't really remember the rules... I'd say "winter". In case it was already done recently, the second best option I can come up with right now is probably "trees"
